There are numerous advantages to staying at a Disney hotel, but staying at Disney's Beach Club Resort brings some perks that only Disney can offer.
In fact, it's just not him.

Its almost twin brother next door, the Disney's Yacht Club Resort, also has the same differentials.
We showed a little bit of them when we went to the Influencers of Magic program invited by Disney.
Both are right in front of the Boardwalk (5 minutes walking, and the view is amazing).
This is because they share their common area and the movement of guests between them is free.
Both belong to Epcot hotels, and the lake that borders the hotel also enters the park further ahead, that is, guests of these two hotels can reach Epcot just by walking for a few minutes.
As we've just seen, the location of Disney's Beach Club Resort is privileged.
The look of the green area complements the hotel's decor.
As its name suggests, Disney's Beach Club Resort is designed with marine decor that accompanies guests from reception to guest rooms.
The style is inspired by the region of American New England, an area that is located in the Northeast of the United States and includes the states of Maine, Vermont, New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Connecticut and Rhode Island.
In other words, Disney's Beach Club Resort brings a bit of the atmosphere of the Atlantic Ocean and the forests in the middle of the mountains and makes the typical colonial architecture of that region very evident.
With this style of decoration and a large green area full of leisure, Disney's Beach Club Resort establishes itself as a hotel that is both relaxed and sophisticated, always with the charm and excellence in services typical of Disney hotels.
Disney's Beach Club Resort has all the amenities of Disney complex hotels and much more.
Swimming pools, recreational activities, spa, fishing lessons, boat rentals, sports courts in addition to the Epcot fireworks show that takes place on the lake, are some of the attractions of Disney's Beach Club Resort.

Wooden floors and carpets are some of the items in the rooms that accentuate this feature, but the decor goes beyond that, with details on the pillows, curtains, headboards and lamps.
All elements are in tune with the beach, classic and sophisticated atmosphere of this hotel.

The restaurant also serves lunch and dinner. It's an opportunity to taste Mickey's famous waffles.

The Market at Ale & Compass
The Market at Ale & Compass it is another restaurant that opens for breakfast, lunch and dinner, but there you can also find other Disney products.
I've already mentioned here on the Blog that in my opinion it's breakfast here at Ale & Compass it is the best value for money among all Disney restaurants.
But for that Disney-style breakfast, the first stop of the day is the Cape May Cafe, where kids can meet some Disney characters.
Cape May Cafe
This informal, beach-style restaurant also serves lunch and dinner, but there are no characters at this time.
It is not surprising that in the morning it is always crowded, that is, make your reservation in advance. At night they have an excellent seafood buffet.

For dinner, an excellent choice is the meals at the Yachtsman Steakhouse with premium steaks and delicious fresh seafood.

This is a very New England style steakhouse.
The ambiance of the Yachtsman Steakhouse is refined and the kitchen is open so you can see all the preparation of your meal.

On the menu there are imported wines, drinks and craft beer, as well as appetizers such as squid, cheese and fritters.
